−'''''Aeschynanthus''''' is a [[genus]] of ca. 185 species of [[tropical]] [[herb]]s. They are found in southern and southeastern [[Asia]], the islands of [[Indonesia]], [[New Guinea]], and the [[Philippines]]. They are usually trailing [[epiphyte]]s with brightly colored [[flower]]s that are pollinated by [[sunbird]]s. Among the better known species are ''[[Aeschynanthus lobbianus]]'' and ''[[Aeschynanthus radicans]]''. The genus name comes from a [[contraction]] of ''aischuno'' (to be ashamed) and ''anthos'' (flower). The common name for some species is "lipstick plant", which comes from the appearance of the developing buds of some species. A full list of the accepted species and their synonyms can be found in the Smithsonian Institution's World Checklist of Gesneriaceae.

The genus contains a large variety of plants with differing features. Some have thick, [[waxy cuticle]]s (as in ''A. lobbianus'') others have much softer [[leaf|leaves]] (as in ''[[Aeschynanthus hildebrandii|A. hildebrandii]]''). Species such as ''[[Aeschynanthus speciosus|A. speciosus]]'' are large where ''[[Aeschynanthus micranthus|A. micranthus]]'' is much smaller and trailing.
